After a gloomy Wednesday, the skies should clear and daytime temperatures should hover in the 60s or near 60 for the rest of the week.

The chance of showers on Friday has magically disappeared, but we could get frost on Saturday night.

While this week looks to be nice, early forecasts for Monday and Tuesday show next week could look even better. Tuesday is predicted to be near 78.

For the first time in quite awhile, we can say that there is very little rain (and NO SNOW) in the forecast over the next week in the local area. Combine that with a warming trend next week, and it is certain to feel a bit more spring-like for the first part of May! pic.twitter.com/uTHFGFiaP6
